If you go the build.ofbiz.org page - where the directions are that I put up there - have the following command:
java -Xmx256M -jar ofbiz.jar If you do this, it works fine. That being said, it's not the same as the startofbiz.sh script, so if all are in favor, then we should change that. Where do you get your instructions from Ruth?
